Don wants to know about a car we sawin the parking lot of a Grocery Store yesterday.It was Red and the initials on the frontwere TVR and he thinks there was an "M" on the back.He thought at first it was an Aston Martinand looked something like James Bond woulddrive.Any of you Car Buffs know anything about thistype of Car.

TVR cars were quite quirky - fibreglass bodied big engined monsters. Hand made in - Blackpool, from memory. They used variety of engine suppliers from Rover V8s to Ford V6s to HoldenV8s. Usually meaty lumps. The company suffered almost constant financial failures and struggled to keep going on numerous occasions.

They were probably best known for their appalling build quality and insane details. To open the doors on one of the later models, you had press a button on the underside of the wing mirror. Why is anyone's guess! Completely insane. Also, they handled like pigs, snapping sideways in a manner reminiscent of early Porsche 911 widow makers.

They eventually went bust (again) in 2006 and rumours of comeback have often been floated.
